It would be nice to be able to change your display name and have it be different than your login ID. Like it does in Gleam, login is your email address but displays your Name .

Here’s what I get when uploading straight from the gallery.
!
Notice the resized.jpg. No idea why it’s doing that but I’m good with it. Thought the cartoon was kinda funny.

Okay, I did some playing around with downsizing and downgrading images to expand file size but it seems as if there is a size that NodeBB (who hosts Meatgistics) can’t handle. I expanded the max file size by a factor of 10 but anything over the current cap wouldn’t accept even though we had it resizing based on the pixel width and then quality.
I also tried just removing all restrictions and down sizing and that did not seem to work.

Jamieson22 Both of those things are possible. I had someone turn off the auto downsizing as that was part of what was causing all the odd stretch stuff. Not sure how we would identify if you have upvoted a post or not. We could put some identifier like an underline or something underneath the # of upvotes on the #. Maybe we could do the highlight of the # if it’s you who upvoted it?
For upvote could you change the icon if already clicked? Maybe a greyed out version or something? Make them kind of like an on/off switch.

PapaSop Yes, good cartoon and it makes sense to me! As for the downsizing yes, it is working on images under the file max but past the width max, it doesn’t seem to be working on files that are over the max. I am looking at some different plug ins but most likely this is going to have to wait.
Rachel is looking into highlighting the # if the user has already upvoted that post. Jamieson22 We will try the highlight 1st because we have done that custom already, if we figure that aspect out we can look at different ways to identify it.

Jonathon your dogs look soft, not like trained killers, I’m disappointed. I jope bigfoot doesn’t get them.

I’m using a medium resolution setting on my phone camera. No issues. -
Tex_77 1st, dont be ridiculous, Brutus is a 186 lb killing machine, who hides from loud noises like trucks, pots dropping and is also afraid of sewers and for sale signs. Riggins was a fighting dog before we got him so he deserves to be soft if he wants now!
Okay, Rachel has the upvote button disappearing when you have already clicked it, we toyed with it being highlighted in yellow but it didn’t look very good, so disappears when you upvote, then if you downvote it by mistake or something the upvote reappears and the downvote disappears. So, anyone see any questions on this in the next few weeks/months be sure to let them know what it means.
-
PapaSop Yeah, that seems to be the best way to do it but there should be a way for the site to autoscale down the quality/size until it will meet the size requirements. We are looking at a new plug-in for this.

Jonathon Where’s the Ceegar?

Jonathon Well, at first my head was swooning as I thought it all worked fine to start with. Typical me. However, I tested it & it makes sense & I can see how it could be very helpful vs having to skim the mouse over the number to see if you hit it or not already. Great job & good work!

Like the disappearing thumb feature. Kudos to Jamieson22 for the suggestion and Rachel for getting it done… Now, who’s Rachel? Introduce yourself.

It is behaving a little oddly. Your post had 4 upvotes and I upvoted to make it 5. Then clicked downvote to “undo” it and it went to 3. But if I Hover on the 3 it shows 4 names. If I then upvote again it jumps from 3 to 5 and shows 5 names on hover.
-
Jamieson22
Yep, see the same thing. -
Jamieson22 Well then, seeing that I do still just like the old thumb to toggle it up or none & down for down only. Hovering to check to make sure I did not do it twice or worse.
-
OK, I think it is working right now. Must have needed a little time for system to completely click in.

I am wondering if part of the inconsistency that different folks experience when uploading pictures might have to do with their camera pixel resolution setting? Newer phones can take some very high resolution pictures with accompanying huge file sizes.
If you reset the photo resolution setting of your phone camera to something smaller, perhaps Meatgistics can deal with the photos without all the weird results? -

processhead I agree with that. I know every phone I’ve owned has had different pixel and photo quality.
